OUR FINAL VIDEO CALL AND END OF THE ETWINNING PROJECT "A YEAR OF TALES"

On 5th June, we held the final video call of our eTwinning project "A Year of Tales". It was a wonderful opportunity for students from all partner schools to meet one last time and celebrate the amazing journey we have shared throughout the school year.

During the session, pupils took part in speaking games, interactive challenges and fun activities that allowed them to practise their English skills while enjoying time with their European friends. The atmosphere was full of excitement, smiles and positive energy.

Throughout the project, students have explored traditional tales, discovered different cultures, improved their communication skills and developed new friendships across Europe. They have also strengthened their digital, linguistic and intercultural competences through meaningful collaboration.

We would like to thank all partner schools, teachers and families for their commitment, enthusiasm and cooperation. This project has been an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. Although "A Year of Tales" is coming to an end, the memories, friendships and learning experiences will stay with us for a long time. Thank you all for being part of this wonderful adventure!

FINAL EVALUATION - ETWINNING PROJECT "LET'S HAVE FUN IN ENGLISH TOGETHER"

As our eTwinning project "Let's Have Fun in English Together" reaches its final stage, our pupils have taken part in one of the most important activities of the project: the final evaluation. Using their laptops and accessing the TwinSpace, they completed an online survey designed to gather their views on the different activities, collaborative tasks and learning experiences developed throughout the school year. This evaluation process has given our students the opportunity to reflect on their learning journey, assess their progress in English, and share their opinions about the digital tools, international cooperation activities and creative challenges they have enjoyed with their European partners. Their feedback is essential, as it allows us to understand the project's impact from the learners' perspective and helps us identify strengths and areas for future improvement. 

One of the key principles of eTwinning is ensuring that students play an active role in every stage of the project, including its evaluation. By encouraging them to express their thoughts and experiences, we promote learner autonomy, critical thinking and responsible participation. The enthusiasm and maturity shown by the pupils while completing the survey clearly demonstrate their commitment to the project and the meaningful learning experiences it has provided. The results of this evaluation will be shared and analysed by all partner schools, contributing to a common reflection on the achievements of the project. Looking back, we are proud of everything our students have accomplished together: improving their communication skills in English, developing their digital competence, collaborating with peers from other European countries and discovering new cultures through authentic and motivating activities. A big thank you to all our pupils, teachers and partners for making this European adventure such a rewarding experience. Every opinion counts, and every contribution helps us continue building high-quality collaborative projects in the future. 

21ST MAY - LAST VIDEO CALL AMONG SCHOOLS - A WONDERFUL FAREWELL!

On Thursday, May 21st, we held the third and final online meeting of our eTwinning project "Let's Have Fun in English Together!" It was a very special event where students and teachers from Spain, France, Germany, Italy and Slovenia came together to enjoy a morning full of fun, learning and friendship while communicating in English. We started with an exciting Mime Challenge, where students picked cards representing different jobs and acted them out. Their friends from the partner schools had to guess the correct profession before taking their turn. It was a fantastic activity that encouraged participation and communication.

Next, we played the collaborative "Who Has?" Game. Students introduced themselves, showed their cards to the camera and followed the sequence of questions and answers. This activity helped improve speaking skills and strengthened the connections between our schools. Some students also shared creative job riddles, challenging their European friends to solve them and making the meeting even more interactive.

To finish, we enjoyed the "Bucket List" activity, where students talked about their plans for the next weekend, their wishes for the summer holidays and their dreams for the future. It was a meaningful way to say goodbye and reflect on everything we have experienced together throughout the project.

The meeting ended with warm farewell messages and expressions of gratitude from all participating schools. Together, we celebrated the success of a project that has helped us improve our English, discover new cultures and build friendships across Europe.

📹 You can watch some of the best moments of this unforgettable experience in the following video:

A big thank you to all the students, families and teachers who made this wonderful journey possible. See you soon, friends! 

Celebrating Europe Day and eTwinning Day at CEIP Las Lomas (Águilas)

On the occasion of Europe Day and eTwinning Day, our school has created a very special video in which our students are the true protagonists. The video reflects the enthusiasm, creativity, and commitment of the students who are actively participating in the eTwinning projects we are developing during the 2025–2026 school year. These projects are:

• 📖 A year of tales
• 🎯 Let's have fun in English together
• 🤝 ThreeTwinning friends

Through these initiatives, our students collaborate with partner schools from Spain, Poland, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Slovenia, and Bulgaria. This international experience helps them improve their English language skills, discover new cultures, and develop key values such as respect, cooperation, and European citizenship. The eTwinning program plays a key role in promoting collaboration between schools across Europe, encouraging innovative and active teaching methodologies in the classroom.

This video is a clear example of the great work carried out by both students and teachers, as well as the positive impact these projects have on their academic and personal development. We continue learning together, connecting cultures, and building Europe from our school.

🍀 This is how we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day at our school 🍀

On March 17th, our school turned green and was filled with joy and excitement to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. From our youngest pupils in Preschool (2 years old) to 6th grade students, everyone took part in this special day as part of our Linguistic Plan and the promotion of English-speaking cultures. There were costumes, shamrocks, hats… and even a few leprechauns walking around the school! 

Throughout the day, we combined fun and learning with activities adapted to each level: we enjoyed a lively photo call, worked on listening and reading tasks, watched the story behind this tradition, and played games in English while learning more about Ireland and its customs. A very motivating way to bring language learning to life through culture and experience. It was definitely a special day where learning English went hand in hand with excitement, participation, and lots of fun. 💚🍀

Here you are all the videos taken that day. We are very proud of our students.

STORYTELLING BY ALAN KENNEDY - THE POOR SISTER

Hello again dear readers!

Although it is too late, I have to tell you the fact that our students of 4^th level A and B enjoyed the storytelling titled “The Poor Sister” and played by the well-known storyteller Alan Kennedy last Wednesday, the 4th October. First of all, the students arrived to the assembly hall while listening to the amazing sound made by the Scottish pipe played by Alan (he is a good musician, too). When they sat, the story started.

Some days before, we were reading the plot of the story in the class and talking about different fairy tales the students knew, such us “The little red riding hood”, “The princess and the pea”, “Rapunzel”, etc. We talked about the story, the plot, the characters, the sceneries… and this idea prompted the students to take part in Alan’s story.

In “The poor sister”, a couple had two children, a horrible, spoiled little boy and a kind daughter. They preferred the boy and gave the younger girl lots of hard work. They wanted her to suffer. The girl’s pet was special and saved her from a hard life. They wore wigs and hats, they talked to each other in English and, the most important aim, they enjoyed their time a lot. When we went back to the classroom, we talked about the experience and all the students voted they want to repeat it next year. I am really proud of my students and the interest they show in the English lessons. Thanks Alan for you help and we hope you can came back next year. You can look at the photos just clicking the following one.

THANKSGIVING DAY - HISTORY AND VIDEOS

Hello again dear friends!

This post is about “Thanksgiving day”. Apart from Christmas, Thanksgiving is the most important festivity in the USA. It became a feast in the early days of the American colonies almost four hundred years ago.

In 1620 a boat filled with more than one hundred people sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to settle in the New World. This religious group, called Pilgrim Fathers, had begun to question the beliefs of the Church of England and they wanted to separate from it. Their first winter in the New World was difficult. They had arrived too late to grow many crops, and without fresh food, half the colony died from disease.

The following spring the Iroquois Indians taught them how to grow corn. They also showed how to hunt and fish. In the autumn of 1621, The Pilgrim Father to thank God and the Local Indians had a feast. After the USA became an independent country, Congress declared the fourth Thursday in November” Thanksgiving Day” a national holiday.

Turkey, corn, pumpkins and cranberry sauce are important symbols of this festivity. You can click the pictures and watch the video about this important festivity in the USA. Enjoy!!!

LIFE PROCESSES

Hello again dear friends!

In this post, we will review some basic concepts about the life processes. As you well know, life processes are necessary to maintain life. They are carried out by living things. Just click on the underlined words (the yellow ones) and the videos will be opened.

Nutrition is the process which provides your body with all the nutrients and energy that are necessary for life. It involves four processes: digestion (the main organs are the stomach and the intestines), respiration (the main organs are the lungs), circulation (the main organ is the heart) and excretion (the main organs are the kidneys).

The process of sensitivity is the ability to detect and respond to changes in the environment. It involves the sense organs (eyes, ear, nose, tongue and hands), the nervous system (the brain and the nerves) and the locomotor system (made up of the skeletal system and the muscular system).

The process of reproduction allows us to have offspring (children/babies) similar to ourselves through the sexual reproduction. Male reproductive organs and female reproductive organs are different and they develop during the stage of adolescence. The baby develops and become larger inside the mother’s uterus. This period is called pregnancy and lasts about nine months.

Thanks for visiting. Regards, Christopher.

ISMAEL'S TRIP TO PARIS

Hello again dear friends!

Today, in the amazing English lesson, Ismael (4th Level A) has shown us his trip to Paris with his family (his mother, Anabel and his father, Ismael).

They went to the most well-known museum in the capital city (“The Louvre Museum”) and they saw Da Vinci’s famous painting created in the 16th century “The Mona Lisa” or "La Gioconda".

They were with different characters such as Mickey, Donald, Buzz... and they had fun in the theme park, too.
